When you upgrade on-premises deployments to this update, you and your customers must use a new license that convers more scenarios than the one for the original release in October 2018.

Why this new license?

In cumulative update 1 (CU 1), we have enabled new licensing scenarios so that Business Central is optimized for licenses with named users. This was not fully supported in the RTM version that was made available on October 1, 2018, and that is why CU 1 requires a new license. You can pull new licenses when you upgrade customers to CU 1.

The new licenses are required for cumulative update 1 and later versions of Business Central and are not backwards compatible with earlier versions of Business Central.

Additionally, the new licenses also include the ID range 70,000,000-74,999,999. For more information, see the Dynamics 365 Business Central Licensing Guide.

What’s on offer for existing customers?

Customers up-to-date with their BREP can upgrade to Dynamics 365 Business Central on-premises using LMT Upgrade.

Due to change in licensing model in Business Central. Below you can see exchange rate from perpetual NAV concurrent license to Business Central named user licenses.

If you have purchased your Dynamics NAV with Perpetual Licencing before October 1, 2018, your current NAV licenses will be converted from:

One Full User in Extended Pack to two Premium users

One Full user to two Essentials users

One Limited user to one Team Member

In addition to the converting of licenses, the licensing setup is different. As mentioned, Dynamics NAV licenses are calculated from concurrent users, where multiple users can share a number of licenses. Business Central licenses, on the other hand, are calculated from named users. The total value of your current licenses will remain the same – even after the conversion.

For more details on Licensing please refer here, make sure you always check with latest version of documents or discuss with your partner for current effective offers.

Similar to Dynamics NAV, the functionality of the D365 Business Central is divided into two ‘packages’, Essentials and Premium. The functionality of ‘Essentials’ corresponds to NAV’s ‘Starter Pack’ and the functionality of ‘Premium’ corresponds to NAV’s ‘Extended Pack’

Dynamics 365 for Financials launched on November 1, 2016 in the United States and Canada, and intends to expand to additional countries in CY2017.

Dynamics 365 for Sales, Dynamics 365 for Marketing, and Dynamics 365 for Customer Service within the Business edition will also be optimized for SMB customers.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Financials, Business edition, has launched in the US and Canada! Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Financials is a business management solution that seamlessly connects people and processes.

From day one, it makes ordering, selling, invoicing, and reporting easier and faster.

Dynamics 365 for Financials is only available as a SaaS offering from Microsoft.

Software as a service is a software licensing and delivery model in which software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. It is sometimes referred to as “on-demand software”. SaaS is typically accessed by users using a thin client via a web browser.

With intelligent business applications across CRM and ERP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 gives you choice.

Say start with Financials.

And then add apps as your needs change.

What is the difference between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Financials?

Many of the capabilities available in Dynamics NAV will also be available in Dynamics 365 for Financials. However, they will be available in a way that is customer – ready out of the box, so these capabilities may surface differently in Financials than Dynamics NAV.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Financials is based on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV platform and several other Microsoft technologies.

It is not compulsory but for seamlessly experience Dynamics 365 for Financials from within Office 365, customers must have an Office 365 subscription that includes Exchange Online.
